"Fatwas do not rely solely on the saying of the majority, but rather on seeking the truth and following the evidence. The truth is often found in the saying of the majority, and it should not be contradicted except after careful verification. The saying of the majority is not a definitive proof according to scholars; what is meant by it is the saying of most scholars."
